Welcome to week 6 of my Friday picks column or as the kids call it these days, bet the opposite and make a lot of money.  Generally speaking, if you flip a coin you should be about 50% on picks vs the spread.  I, however, have shown that with a little bit of effort you can be 15 games under .500 in only 5 weeks, a sparkling 40% win rate.  However, that is before I started playing for real… I have decided to give 110% in my picks this week and guarantee a winning record or your money back.
